I love pomegranate season. We normally just de-seed pomegranates and then eat them raw. We’ve even made honey-sweetened pomegranate ice cream with them. Yum!

This time we got creative in the kitchen with them. We made some pomegranate syrup and these Apple Pie Bars with Pomegranate Seeds. Both recipes came out amazing!

You can either serve this recipe as a traditional warm crumble topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Or you can serve it cold, as bars, like we did. Either way it’s totally delish!

Just make sure you’re using refined coconut oil, not virgin coconut oil, or the coconut will overpower the flavors of the apple and pomegranate.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • 8″ x 8″ square baking pan

Ingredients

Crust & Topping Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1⅓ cup oatmeal
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup coconut oil melted, or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add flour, oats, white sugar, brown sugar, salt and baking soda to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Once the mixture is well combined, divide in half. Press one half into the bottom of an 8×8 square baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While that's baking, add the sugar and arrowroot powder to a mixing bowl and mix well. Add lemon juice and water and mix well.

  • Pour the liquid mixture over the apples and pomegranate seeds, then return the pan to the oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the pomegranate apple filling. You’ll want to crumble it in your hands and sprinkle it gently – don’t pack it in too tight.
  • Return the pan to the oven for another 30-35 minutes, or the top layer is golden brown. Remove from oven. If you're serving warm, you can serve right away as a crumble in a bowl topped with vanilla bean ice cream.

  • If you want to serve cold, allow the Pomegranate Apple Crumble Bars to cool for an hour before transferring to the fridge. You'll want to let it cool for about 3 hours or overnight. Then remove from the fridge and cut into bars or squares. They're great served with ice cream cold too!
